According to Texas National Guard chief commander Adjutant General Jose S. Mayorga, soldiers from the Czech military 31st brigade of radiation, chemical and biological protection will help their US counterparts establish a similar unit in Texas. The soldiers are expected to arrive somewhere next month.

Czech military is coming to Texas.

He made the statement to the Czech News Agency (CTK) on June 22, while visiting with Czech chief-of-staff Vlastimil Picek on his invitation.

“Since the Texas guard is considering establishing a similar unit, Mayorga said he would like to see how the Czech unit, seated in Liberec, north Bohemia, is organized and how it prepares for emergency situations, and also its way of reacting to them”, reports the Prague Daily Monitor.

It is interesting to note that the Nuclear Threat Initiative’s (NTI) news outlet reported on March 16 2009 that this very chemical warfare unit would be assigned to “help protect” President Obama during his visit to the EU-USA summit held in Prague in April of that year.

Now I don’t know about you, but since when does a ‘chemical warfare unit’, specialized in such things as tracking down anthrax-facilities and other devilries, get to “protect” an American president visiting?

“The plan of security measures to accompany the EU-USA summit reckons with us.”, NTI reported the head of the 31st brigade of radiation, chemical and biological protection, Miroslav Knopp, as saying.

“However”, said Knopp, “I must not disclose any details as the [plan] is secret. Our role will be similar to our assistance in the protection of then U.S. President George Bush during his visit to Prague, and at the NATO summits in Istanbul and Riga”.

Again: what is a biological and chemical warfare unit doing protecting a United States President? Isn’t that the Secret Service’s job? And what in Gods name is the legitimacy of using this foreign military unit in the United States, helping out the Texas National Guard?

The Prague Daily Monitor reports there is more to this unit than meets the eye:

“The Czech chemical warfare unit is world-renowned. This April it protected the U.S.-Russian summit in Prague. Previously it ensured the security of the Olympic Games in Athens and was deployed in the Gulf War and other conflicts.”

It’s a strange thing, is it not, that some Czech chemical warfare unit- operating from a relatively second-rate nation in Europe, protects US presidents, provides security for the Olympic Games and is involved in combat-operations overseas. It’s even more strange that the unit will now help the Texas National Guard establish a replica of itself in the great state of Texas.

Choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder

In its never-ending attempt to fabricate “mental disorders” out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now pushing the most ridiculous disease they’ve invented yet: Healthy eating disorder.

Eating junk foods keeps you dumbed down and easy to control

This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you’re “mentally diseased” and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, “Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder” and goes on to claim this “disease” is called orthorexia nervosa — which is basically just Latin for “nervous about correct eating.”

But they can’t just called it “nervous healthy eating disorder” because that doesn’t sound like they know what they’re talking about. So they translate it into Latin where it sounds smart (even though it isn’t). That’s where most disease names come from: Doctors just describe the symptoms they see with a name like osteoporosis (which means “bones with holes in them”).

Getting back to this fabricated “orthorexia” disease, the Guardian goes on to report, “Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.”

Wait a second. So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar now makes you a mental health patient? Yep. According to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there’s something wrong with you.

But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be “normal?” If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, that’s okay with them. The mental patients are the ones who choose organic, natural foods, apparently.

What is “normal” when it comes to foods?

I told you this was coming. Years ago, I warned NaturalNews readers that an attempt might soon be under way to outlaw broccoli because of its anti-cancer phytonutrients. This mental health assault on health-conscious consumers is part of that agenda. It’s an effort to marginalize healthy eaters by declaring them to be mentally unstable and therefore justify carting them off to mental institutions where they will be injected with psychiatric drugs and fed institutional food that’s all processed, dead and full of toxic chemicals.

The Guardian even goes to the ridiculous extreme of saying, “The obsession about which foods are “good” and which are “bad” means orthorexics can end up malnourished.”

Follow the non-logic on this, if you can: Eating “good” foods will cause malnutrition! Eating bad foods, I suppose, is assumed to provide all the nutrients you need. That’s about as crazy a statement on nutrition as I’ve ever read. No wonder people are so diseased today: The mainstream media is telling them that eating health food is a mental disorder that will cause malnutrition!

Shut up and swallow your Soylent Green

It’s just like I reported years ago: You’re not supposed to question your food, folks. Sit down, shut up, dig in and chow down. Stop thinking about what you’re eating and just do what you’re told by the mainstream media and its processed food advertisers. Questioning the health properties of your junk food is a mental disorder, didn’t you know? And if you “obsess” over foods (by doing such things as reading the ingredients labels, for example), then you’re weird. Maybe even sick.

That’s the message they’re broadcasting now. Junk food eaters are “normal” and “sane” and “nourished.” But health food eaters are diseased, abnormal and malnourished.

But why, you ask, would they attack healthy eaters? People like Dr. Gabriel Cousens can tell you why: Because increased mental and spiritual awareness is only possible while on a diet of living, natural foods.

Eating junk foods keeps you dumbed down and easy to control, you see. It literally messes with your mind, numbing your senses with MSG, aspartame and yeast extract. People who subsist on junk foods are docile and quickly lose the ability to think for themselves. They go along with whatever they’re told by the TV or those in apparent positions of authority, never questioning their actions or what’s really happening in the world around them.

In contrast to that, people who eat health-enhancing natural foods — with all the medicinal nutrients still intact — begin to awaken their minds and spirits. Over time, they begin to question the reality around them and they pursue more enlightened explorations of topics like community, nature, ethics, philosophy and the big picture of things that are happening in the world. They become “aware” and can start to see the very fabric of the Matrix, so to speak.

This, of course, is a huge danger to those who run our consumption-based society because consumption depends on ignorance combined with suggestibility. For people to keep blindly buying foods, medicines, health insurance and consumer goods, they need to have their higher brain functions switched off. Processed junk foods laced with toxic chemicals just happens to achieve that rather nicely. Why do you think dead, processed foods remain the default meals in public schools, hospitals and prisons? It’s because dead foods turn off higher levels of awareness and keep people focused on whatever distractions you can feed their brains: Television, violence, fear, sports, sex and so on.

But living as a zombie is, in one way quite “normal” in society today because so many people are doing it. But that doesn’t make it normal in my book: The real “normal” is an empowered, healthy, awakened person nourished with living foods and operating as a sovereign citizen in a free world. Eating living foods is like taking the red pill because over time it opens up a whole new perspective on the fabric of reality. It sets you free to think for yourself.

But eating processed junk foods is like taking the blue pill because it keeps you trapped in a fabricated reality where your life experiences are fabricated by consumer product companies who hijack your senses with designer chemicals (like MSG) that fool your brain into thinking you’re eating real food.

If you want to be alive, aware and in control of your own life, eat more healthy living foods. But don’t expect to be popular with mainstream mental health “experts” or dieticians — they’re all being programmed to consider you to be “crazy” because you don’t follow their mainstream diets of dead foods laced with synthetic chemicals.

But you and I know the truth here: We are the normal ones. The junk food eaters are the real mental patients, and the only way to wake them up to the real world is to start feeding them living foods.

Some people are ready to take the red pill, and others aren’t. All you can do is show them the door. They must open it themselves.

In the mean time, try to avoid the mental health agents who are trying to label you as having a mental disorder just because you pay attention to what you put in your body. There’s nothing wrong with avoiding sugar, soy, MSG, aspartame, HFCS and other toxic chemicals in the food supply. In fact, your very life depends on it.

Editor’s note: An Infowars reader indicates Charlie is being held by the Toronto Police at the 51 Division. Telephone: 416-808-5108.

Charlie Veitch bullhorning in London.

Dan Dicks of Press for Truth in Canada told Infowars.com this afternoon that Charlie Veitch was detained at Toronto International Airport. Veitch was scheduled to return to England after attending demonstrations against the G20 globalist confab held over the weekend.

Veitch sent an urgent text message to Dicks indicating he was detained. “They’ve got me,” Charlie said. “Get help!”

Veitch is the founder of activist group The Love Police. He produces videos of his confrontations with government officials and police.

Charlie was arrested on June 24 in Toronto for refusing to cooperate with the police after he was asked for ID. Ontario secretly passed an unprecedented regulation empowering police to arrest anyone near the G20 security zone who refused to identify themselves or agree to a police search.

Paul Joseph Watson details how protesters in Toronto during the summit were abducted off the streets and bundled into unmarked vehicles. Police have established a pattern of increasing Gestapo behavior with each passing globalist event in an obvious attempt to dissuade and frighten the opposition.

Infowars.com will post more information when it becomes available.

New Big Screen Documentary Exposes Pat Tillman Cover-Up

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

A new documentary set to hit the big screen this summer lifts the lid on the cover-up behind the death of Pat Tillman, the pro-football star who gave up a lucrative career to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq before preparing to return to the U.S. as an anti-war icon, at which point he was killed in a so-called friendly fire incident that more closely resembled a deliberate assassination.

Whether or not the documentary delves into the question of whether Tillman’s death was a targeted act of murder remains to be seen, but the evidence strongly indicates that Tillman was deliberately assassinated in order to prevent him from becoming an anti-war icon and derailing public support in the United States for the ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tillman sacrificed the good life and a multi-million dollar football career in the belief that he was defending his country from outside enemies, and soon after 9/11 turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over three years from the Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army.

It was during Tillman’s second deployment to Afghanistan, after previously serving in Iraq, that he was killed by what the U.S. military initially claimed was a Taliban ambush. It later emerged that the ambush story had been concocted by the Pentagon in an attempt to exploit Tillman’s death for pro-war propaganda. Subsequent investigations claimed that Tillman was killed as a result of a friendly fire accident.

However, in July 2007, the results of an Army medical report found that Tillman had been shot three times in the head with an M16 from a mere 10 yards away, clearly suggesting that the incident was a targeted assassination.

“Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman’s forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player’s death amounted to a crime,” reported the Associated Press.

“The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described,” a doctor who examined Tillman’s body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators. “The doctors – whose names were blacked out – said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.”

The article also reveals that “Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, punishments.”

The doctor who autopsied Tillman’s body tried to pursue an investigation into the question of whether Tillman was murdered but was prevented from doing so by higher-ups at the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division.

The motive for the murder would undoubtedly have been Tillman’s plans to return to the U.S. and a vocal critic of the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions.

The evidence points directly to it and the motivation is clear – Tillman abandoned a lucrative career in pro-football immediately after 9/11 because he felt a rampaging patriotic urge to defend his country, and became a poster child for the war on terror as a result. But when he discovered that the invasion of Iraq was based on a mountain of lies and deceit and had nothing to do with defending America, he became infuriated and was ready to return home to become an anti-war hero.

In September 2005, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that a friend of Tillman had set up a meeting with author and prominent war critic Noam Chomsky, which was scheduled to take place after Tillman’s return from Afghanistan. Chomsky confirmed that the meeting was arranged.

As far back as March 2003, immediately after the invasion of Iraq, Tillman famously told his comrade Spc. Russell Baer, “You know, this war is so fucking illegal,” and urged his entire platoon to vote against Bush in the 2004 election.

During a July 2007 appearance on Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC show, four star General Wesley Clark stated that “the orders came from the very top” to cover-up the nature of Tillman’s death as he was a political symbol and his opposition to the war in Iraq would have rallied the population around supporting immediate withdrawal.

London Police Attack Photographer, Claim “We Don’t Have To Have A Law” To Detain You

Jules Mattsson, a 16-year-old freelancer student from Hackney, east London, was ordered to identify himself and stop taking images of the march on Armed Forces Day, this past Saturday.

For his own protection, Mattsson recorded the exchange with police on his mobile phone.

The audio provides evidence of yet another case in which officers are caught inventing imaginary laws, bandying around the Terrorism Act, and forcefully demanding that the public abide by their orders, when they have no legal right to do so.

Officers initially claim that Mattsson needs parental permission to capture images of the cadets who are minors. When Mattsson corrects the officer, noting that there are no restrictions on photographers in public spaces, the officer then claims that it is against the law to photograph police and members of the armed forces.

As the police continue to prevent the student from taking photographs and demand ID, he repeatedly asks them under what law he is being detained.

Eventually one officer replies “We don’t have to have a law.”

Following continued declaration that it is his right to photograph in a public space and that he should be allowed to get on with his work, Mattsson is informed by another officer that he is now “considered a threat under the Terrorism Act”.

As officers forcefully ushered him away from the parade, Mattsson says he was pushed down a short set of stairs and detained for “breaching the peace” until the parade passed.

Listen to the exchange:

At just 16 years of age, Mattsson’s knowledge of his rights as a photographer and a member of the public, his declaration that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place, and his bravery in standing up to several forceful uniformed aggressors should be commended.

The notion that this teenager was “breaching the peace” as he was pushed down a flight of steps by a gaggle of thug officers is ridiculous. Given that Mattsson has been advised not to publicly comment on the incident, he is thought to be considering legal action.

Matteson’s case is not an isolated incident. As we have repeatedly highlighted, photographers and film makers are routinely stopped and harassed under terrorism laws and routinely have their material seized and even deleted by police on a daily basis in London.

Only rarely are such incidents captured on film or recorded on audio devices. Another such case was recorded last December when a young woman was harassed, accused of being a terrorist, and forcefully tackled by police when they noticed her filming a building.

Watch the video and note how the officer, hands in pockets, chewing gum, declares that she is being “cocky” when she is simply standing up for her rights:

In another case, this time in a different UK town, an amateur photographer was arrested under anti-terror laws and detained in a police station for eight hours after taking pictures of Christmas celebrations.

The man refused to provide his details after he was approached by a police community support officer (PCSO) who told him “Because of the Terrorism Act and everything in the country, we need to get everyone’s details who is taking pictures of the town.”

The most worrying thing about these cases is the fact that officers seem to really believe that they are acting within the law. As the Association of Chief Police Officers recently noted in a strongly worded memo to all officers, the idea that anti-terror laws prohibit photography is an “internal urban myth.”

As we highlighted in our article last week, following a similar incident in London involving film maker and activist Charlie Veitch, The Metropolitan Police have recently issued guidelines to their officers regarding legal protocol on photography/filming, following sustained police abuse of terrorism provisions against photographers, journalists and members of the public.

As the guidelines clearly state:

“Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel.”

The guidelines go on to state:

“…officers should exercise caution before viewing images as images acquired or created for the purposes of journalism may constitute journalistic material and should not be viewed without a Court Order.”

Though there are provisions under section 58A of the 2000 Terrorism Act and Section 76 of the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 which prohibit photographing police and members of the armed forces, police “must be able to demonstrate a reasonable suspicion that the information was, by its very nature, designed to provide practical assistance to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.

This means that it is unlawful to arrest or detain anyone for filming or photographing police during the course of normal policing activities, including parades, protests, or simply walking down the street.

This was noted in court last week as two investigative photojournalists received an apology and financial compensation from the Metropolitan Police after being forcibly prevented from working by officers at a political protest outside the Greek Embassy in 2008.

As for photographing children, again there are no restrictions in public, something Met police should be well aware of given the fact that Scotland Yard recently admitted its officers have been photographing children who are stopped and searched, even after they have been found to be innocent of any offence, and keeping the pictures on a database for “intelligence-gathering purposes”.
